So you missed seeing the stunning 1984 portrait of Michael Jackson by Andy Warhol when it was on view at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC and you are fascinated by the life and works of Michael Jackson after seeing the movie This Is It.
Fans living in or visiting California should head on over to the GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE. On the third floor of the museum you will find an amazing collection of many of Jackson's most iconic wardrobe pieces. The exhibition includes the suit Jackson wore on the cover of his 1984 Thriller album.
The GRAMMY Museum's exhibition was planned before the pop star's death but the exhibition was extended due to the incredible sustained fascination with Jackson. Interest in Michael Jackson soared when Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest at his home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California and died on June 25, 2009. Interest in the pop star increased further when the Los Angeles County coroner ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide this past August. The GRAMMY Museum announced yesterday that it would extend the Michael Jackson exhibition though the summer.
The GRAMMY Museum is located on the corner of Olympic Boulevard and Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles, on the campus of L.A. LIVE. The Museum entrance is located on Figueroa Street. The museum is open Sunday to Friday 11:30 AM to 7:30 PM and on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Folks who plan to visit the Museum prior to attending an evening program receive a discounted rate of $8 per person and may visit the Museum from 6:00 pm until it closes at 7:30 pm.
